Two contestants ('Anorak' accountant and 'dippy' HR lady) and Anne Robinson.

Anne Well, there we have it. On that round you banked a measly two hundred and fifty pounds. Not very good, was it?

Contestants No…

Anne You, what is it you do again?

Accountant I'm an accountant and I work in the Finance department for National Air Traffic Services Ltd, Anne.

Anne Pretty rubbishy accountant if you ask me! You could be up in the thousands by now and all you have is a rotten two hundred and fifty quid. So, on what do you blame this pathetic performance?

Accountant It's the downturn in the aviation industry, Anne.

Anne The what…?

Accountant You know. Nobody's flying any more. We don't have any money. Company's facing ruin!

Anne Well it's about time you chose another career because you're obviously not very good with money. And what's your job?

HR That's right, Anne, I work in Human Resources, Anne, yes. National Air Traffic Services Ltd. Yes.

Anne Human resources? In the same company as our accountant? Oh dear… Well, you now have to decide - Who is dragging your team down? Who is costing you money? Who can you no longer afford to support? It's time to vote off the Weakest link!

Anne Dippy HR lady?

HR 'Staff'.

Anne Accountant who can't add up?

Accountant er… 'Staff'.

Anne Well there's an unusual result… you've both voted to get rid of staff? Dippy HR lady, what do you mean?

HR Well, we should just sack everybody, Anne, Yes.

Anne What - everybody? Why?

HR Well, we worked it out -

Accountant Yes -

HR Staff costs are our biggest expense, so if we get rid of them all we'll save…

Accountant Two hundred and twenty million pounds a year.

Anne Two hundred and twenty million?

HR And with no staff we wouldn't have to provide catering facilities, or toilets, or car parking spaces… er… nothing, actually. We'd need to provide nothing.

Accountant Saving us a total of 1.2 billion.

Anne So, to get yourselves out of the situation where you got everything wrong, you made hardly any money and were in danger of losing it all you're just going to vote off all your staff…?

Contestants … Yes. Isn't it obvious?

Anne But how will you run your business with no staff?

Contestants Oh, don't ask us - that's not our department.

Anne And who said bureaucracy was dead? You are the weakest link. Goodbye!
